Gladiator: Road to the Colosseum , de somegingerwriter04

A slave. A gladiator. A champion. Who will he be? The Romans call him many names. A slave. A gladiator. A champion. Who and what will he be? He will conquer the arena, navigating petty Roman politics and etch his name in the annals of Rome! Or die trying. ["Gladiator: Road to the Colosseum" is a 220,000 word interactive novel by Foong Yi Zhuan, where your(my own) choices control the story. It's entirely text-based-without graphics or sound effects.] (This is just my experience with this Visual Novel, I take no credit except for my OC's name, please enjoy and dm me if you would like to see another novel experience...alot of things were left out because this is an interactive novel...I'll try my best to make it more of a reading novel)

Nailing Your Dictatress, de blacktealeafs

You met Julius Caesar and he's a pretty (and devious) lady...? Forty years before Caesar's fateful crossing of the Rubicon, there was another dictator - one who set the stage for the empire to come. A powerful strongman who declared himself the savior of the Roman Republic as he burned it to the ground. What was he thinking as he shattered hundreds of years of tradition to march the legions on Rome itself? What about when he sank the city in mass terror as he put up his famous proscriptions? In the historical record, we are left with only pieces of their story, meaning to really understand what he was like, we had to be there. Modern-day everyman Richard Williams knows little of ancient Rome or its citizen-farmers, praetors, or garum. However, he does know he needs to work three jobs a week to support himself, broke up with his girlfriend, and has died in a traffic accident. Therefore, he's rather confused when he wakes up in Rome two millennia ago and meets a seven-foot tall horned woman with massive assets. Despite his lack of knowledge in this regard, he's pretty sure that's *not* part of history. A very, very, very historically accurate retelling of the fall of the Roman Republic in a gender-role reversed world where the whims of powerful women move the fates of nations.

Bound by Bloodshed (Gladiator romance), de nrmartini

Brewin Ambrade is fighting to live on borrowed time. After being molded into a weapon for the Romans to wield, killing has become second nature for the gladiator, and with each life taken by his hand, a piece of his humanity vanishes along with it. This catches the eye of Emperor Lucius Marius, who believes Brewin's sacrifices have earned him an opportunity at life outside the colosseum walls and within a set of another- his palace. Trapped by her father's iron grip and betrothed to a Roman general she despises, Cyra Marius is no less a prisoner than the man now appointed with watching her every move. She remains misunderstood... simply labeled a spoiled brat due to her defiance for the duties laid before her. Cyra yearns to see the world that exists beyond the walls lining Rome, and the broken gladiator with nothing to lose may just be the one to get her there. As their worlds clash, they come to an unexpected understanding... a connection that runs so deep it goes against everything they've ever known. Together, they begin to formulate a plan. Desperate to take back the freedom stolen from them, they'll do whatever it takes- no matter what the cost. *TRIGGER WARNING* Bound by Bloodshed is a time-piece depicting the lives of gladiators, the Roman Empire, and those at the mercy of their command. Brutality courses through the veins of this story, and though the names are that of fiction, many have suffered from the elements depicted on page, including: emotional and physical abuse, sexual acts, violence, injury, human death, animal death, blood, and gore. To all the victims of unfair treatment, know that you are seen. Readers who may wish to avoid these topics, read with caution. To those ready to fight, join us as we enter the colosseum.

Daughter of My People: Jesus' Jerusalem destroyed, de JerInChrist-AreOhSea

The First Jewish-Roman War (A.D. 66-73) retold in a novel feeling. The stories surrounding Jerusalem and its final years are given as clearly as possible for this book, and as entertaining as possible, too. Hence why the book is presented in a casual manner, to make the stories easier to grasp than a mere formality. Learn how the Sicarii, Romans, Sadducees, and early Christians are involved in this war (or not at all in the case of the Christians). The book also recounts the lives of people before and during the war: such as Messiah Jesus of Nazareth, Emperor Nero, Apostles Paul and James the Just, High Priests Ananias and Ananus Ben Ananus, Governor (and later historian) Josephus, Zealot leaders John of Gischala and Simon bar Giora, and Generals (and later emperors) Vespasian and Titus. In general, this is a Christian book, which aims to put Jesus in his respectful place. Now published! Look up "Daughter of My People: Jesus' Jerusalem Destroyed" or copy-and-pause the name of the book.

Gods of Death Want Life, de malfictionaudio

Wrote part of this back in 2013. It is a companion to the canon and completed it Feb 2021 and EDITED better June 2021. Still not fully edited, but I loved reading it again and again. It's ending is supposed to be a cliff hanger to a potential spin off series I have been writing for years which follows the First Triumvirate, BEFORE Caesar becomes Dictator for life. Still unfinished but I have been writing that series HBO! STARS! WHOEVER WANTS TO PICK UP THIS GENRE. lol

Salvatoria: The Memoirs of Lucretia Aurelia, de JackHuston96

Lucretia Aurelia Appius was only fourteen years old when soldiers ordered by Pompey the Great slayed her father and mother in front of her. They would have claimed her life as well, just for being her father's daughter, had she not miraculously run into one of Rome's most powerful men: Gaius Julius Caesar. Caesar would take the scared girl into his villa, knowing she was a tool to make Pompey fall in line with him, and she wasn't worth much more... or so Caesar thought. This girl would turn out to be one of Rome's most cunning politicians, brilliant and fearsome generals and who's name would echo throughout history, using her mind, body and wiles to worm her way into the heart of Roman aristocracy, eventually rising... all the way to the top.
